Dropping a year after 12th for IIT and NIT is good decision or not?

This is really very serious question because it will take one more year and hence you need to prepare more well as you have prepared earlier. If you really want to do b.tech from IIT and NIT then it is a good decision but you have to focus only on studies. There are many students who drops an year and then can't do well in their entrance exams and hence feel very low and blame them self for wasting one more year. But some students are such that who really want to take admission in NIT or IIT and hence become successful after dropping a year. There are merits as well as demerits of dropping a year and believe me there are more demerits in comparison to merits so the best way is to prepare for entrance after joining the college.

Many students do this thing that they join a college and then prepare for the entrance exams but this is the toughest but safest option for all who are looking for a seat in IIT and NIT. Here in 1st year you will actually go through your 11th as well as 12th but of higher level and it some how helps you but here you have to study for your college exam as well as for entrance exam. So, if you can focus in both then go for this option. By choosing this option 1-2 among 500 are selected for IIT and 5-6 for NIT by which you can estimate that it is not easy task to do.

Dropping up a year completely without taking admission to any college is really risky and full of stress also but there are students who do the same and crack IIT and NIT. One of my friend living in Delhi, has tried for the entrance exam thrice and then he cracked the IIT. He has not applied for any other examination except IIT and hence cracked it on third attempt. But now you according to new rule you can give entrance exam for IIT only 2 times. Well by this example I mean to say that if your focus is really awesome means, if you can concentrate in studies well for 5 hours a day after dropping then do it because many IITians have done the same. Main thing required is focus. Just concentrate on your studies and don't bother about anything. But this is 100 or may be 1000 times harder to do by just writing or thinking about it. But its up to you that what you can do.

Best thing about dropping is only that you can reappear and can stand up for a chance again for admission to  IIT and NIT. You can actually focus on your studies leaving CBSE studies behind which you have cleared in previous year. You can actually give your 100% to your entrance exams and can be satisfy with your studies. But the thing is that all these is not a cake walk. You actually have to give your best without any distraction and anything else. This is really tough because students who actually drops feel really depressed and low and always afraid. Bad things automatically comes in mind that what will happen?. What if not selected?, What if failed to prepare properly?. All such questions comes in mind and that's natural. If you can beat all the difficulties that you should drop otherwise say a big no to this plan.
